See 'Tips on completing the Short-term Student immigration application form' for answers to common questions about completing the application form.

Enrolling your biometric details

As part of the application, you need to give your biometric details at a Visa Application Centre, Section or other facility. The staff there will scan your fingerprints and take a digital photograph of your face. Your application will be processed after you have given your biometric details.

When to apply

You can apply up to three months before the date of your intended to travel to the UK. It is a good idea to apply as early as possible within this time frame because it can sometimes take a long time for visa applications to be decided, especially during the busy Summer period.
